Abstract: Summary Eclosion hormone (EH) was originally identified as a brain-derived hormone capable of inducing the behavioral sequences required for molting across insect species. However, its role in this process (called ecdysis) has since been confounded… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-50061-y
Abstract: One of the most important cellular events in arthropods is the moulting of the cuticle (ecdysis). This process allows them to grow until they reach sexual maturity. Nevertheless, during this stage, the animals are highly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep46502
Abstract: Insects are enclosed in a rigid exoskeleton, providing protection from desiccation and mechanical injury. To allow growth, this armour needs to be replaced regularly in a process called moulting. Moulting entails the production of a… read more here.

Abstract: Synchrotron radiation phase-contrast microtomography (SR-PHC-CT) has become an important tool in studies of insects, mainly Rhodinius prolixus, the insect vector of Chagas disease. A previous work has shown that SR-PHC-CT is an excellent technique in… read more here.

Abstract: Recently N-glycosylation was found to be required for the postembryonic development and metamorphosis of the holometabolous beetle Tribolium castaneum. However, the role of N-glycosylation in the development of hemimetabolous insects is unknown. To further elucidate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/imb.12691
Abstract: In Drosophila melanogaster, ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH) is the key factor triggering ecdysis behaviour and promoting trachea clearance. However, whether ETH plays the dual roles in non‐dipteran insects is unknown. In this survey, we found… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/pre.12214
Abstract: The specific cell architecture of prorocentroid dinoflagellates is reflected in the internal cell structure, particularly, in cytoskeleton organization. Cytoskeleton arrangement in a Prorocentrum minimum cell was investigated using fluorescent labeling approaches, electron‐microscopy and immunocytochemical methods.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.01445
Abstract: Skin immunity protects animals from airborne pathogen infection. Unlike mammals, arthropods, including insects, undergo periodic ecdysis to grow and develop. Newly molted insects emerge with unsclerotized thin cuticles but successfully escape pathogenic infections during the… read more here.
